A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

There’s not enough wine in the world for what Americans have to deal with. I wish i could get the insurance company to approve my husband’s spinal reconstruction so he can go back to work before his insurance lapses…but unfortunately they keep asking for more tests, physical therapy and injections but sometimes the injections get denied by a gynecologist and then we have to get him back to the previous couple of doctors to order the same treatment that we really don’t need anyway because it’s just a stall tactic by the insurance company to obstruct his surgery a surgery that they approved last year for a double tier spinal fusion but then they decided he could only get one tier done so he never recovered and it’s been a maze of bs ever since. It would have been cheaper for them to let the doctor do both tiers but they canceled the second tier hours before the surgery. You can’t make this shit up it makes no sense
Just further proof that the entire system is designed from the ground up to deny as much coverage as possible. I'm sorry you and your husband are going through that :(
This sounds similar to something that happened to a friend recently.
I don't know if this whole trend of "the third party insurance company told the doctor and the patient that the surgery was called off or modified at the last minute" has gotten worse recently, but it is as unsurprising as it is horrifying.
